im getting a macpro laptop for the wife to take with her on her travels and id like to copy most everything, or everything, from my macpro desktop to the laptop. thing is my desktop can only support osx tiger and the laptop im getting has snow leopard on it. so how will that work out using carbon copy cloner. can i just clone the apps i want to clone. i have a feeling its not really that easy to just clone the apps i want to transfer.

Use Migration Assistant on the new MacBook Pro (NOT macpro laptop) which can be found in Applications>Utilities and copy over what you want. It gives you a choice from System Files, Applications, and some other suggestions, cant quite remember, but yea Migration Assistant on the New MBP will be your best bet.

Cheers

Yes. You can check mark what you want to Migrate over and what not too. You will need to have the Macs in Target Disk Mode to do this, but migration Assistant is your best bet. If the MacPro is on a Single HD, your MBP might even pick it up as a Ext HD and you wont need Target Disk Mode.

if i just migrated the whole hard drive form my desktop to my laptop how will this affect the fact that my laptop has snow leopard on it and my desktop has tiger. pretty much that is what i want to do, copy everything except leave snow leopard as the operating system.
